Obama Administration Lays Out $56 Million Plan for Libya

The Obama administration is throwing its weight behind Libya's new UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), laying out a $56 million aid plan for the coming months. The State Department plans to reallocate $35 million in current and prior year funding to help the political transition in Tripoli, special envoy for Libya Jonathan Winer told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a June 15 hearing. The proposal would require moving around money that has already been approved by Congress.

Secretary of State John Kerry said in May that he was ready to look at exemptions to the international arms embargo against the country. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., raised concerns that some US allies — notably Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Egypt — have supported an array of actors in Libya. He questioned the wisdom of lifting the embargo under those circumstances.

"How can the [Obama] administration ensure that its allies are abiding by international law and not undermining the unity government?" Menendez asked. "And how can the United States ensure that the GNA is strong enough to control any arms that are supplied?"

Why do we even have bills and laws if they can just transfer around the money and spend it where they please ?

They passed a law against that in Wisconsin. Former Gov. Doyle administration would raid the transportation fund for their projects.

I would rather flush it down the pipes than potentially give it to ISIS. Deals like this are how ISIS was born to begin with.

If 0bama was refunding ISIS the number would be about 100 times larger. This is probably just money Sidney Blumenthal lost on a small deal.

Anyone with a brain is no longer buying the constant twisting of reality that comes out of Obama’s mouth.
The gays are out buying guns.
They don’t believe his majesty’s lies anymore.
The hispanics are turning against him and so are the blacks.
Even the ingrained democrat elderly white’s have discovered that Obama’s a liar, a killer and a traitor.

After Reagan, he did turn around, though.

I sort of miss him.

Isn't there ANYTHING in between those two choices?
What a world.

He USED to be a very well dressed, a la Italiano, despot, with Gucci scarves around his neck.

Then he just got nuts...perhaps he was in the tertiary stages of syphilis.
